As if the Pens are like some old person that blindly puts their precious metals in a bag and ships it off to someone for an undetermined amount of money... That's nothing more than a pawn shop catering to suckers... :lol:

Pittsburgh Penguins Could Bank $7,500 for Stanley Cup
2009-06-15

The Pittsburgh Penguins are once again on top of the hockey world, having been awarded the Stanley Cup, one of the most renowned trophies in all of sports.

Certified appraisers at Cash4Gold, America's #1 buyer of precious metals direct from the general public, have studied photographs of the famed 35-pound trophy. They estimate that it might contain as much as $7,500 worth of silver, assuming that the trophy is 100% silver.

Given that the Stanley Cup is one of the most distinguished trophies in sports, its worth most likely outweighs the melt value that the piece would command if it were sent to Cash4Gold.

“The Pittsburgh Penguins prevailed in a great series, and I don’t expect the team to send the Stanley Cup to Cash4Gold,” said Cash4Gold CEO Jeff Aronson. “However, if any of their fans or any other Americans want to tap the value of old or broken gold or silver jewelry lying around the house, then now would be a great time to send it to Cash4Gold. We’re buying.”
